LED's generally don't have glass in them, and really are unlikely to break if knocked over. The Honeywells I like to use are aluminum based and plastic "bulbed"
They sure as hell don't "shatter".
I guess you could wack it hard enough to break a soldering joint or something...
Oh, and it is very easy to get them for 7.99 to 12.99 at NewEgg on a regular basis. Since they rarely burn out, there is no need to stockpile extras.
I was applying internally, for a position that was created just for me: Datacenter migration and relocation architect. Unless you had the code, you could not apply, and I was the only person applying.
Except I kept getting rejected. The automated software kept rejecting my resume, despite the fact the parameters were set using a copy of my resume.
Eventually it escalated. The escalation triggered a re-evaluation of the HR system because of the obvious fact that qualified people were getting cut out of the system.
Exactly how many qualified and talented people were lost to this IT employer it is hard to say, but senior technical management was not amused.
Now when we want to hire another Architect, we actually get quite a few qualified architects. Selection comes down to what industry we need experience in and how close they are to the target customer.
Solid tires suck, there is a reason we use pneumatic tires. Foam filled ones ride harshly and weigh more than air filled ones. There are foam filled tires out there, generally used where ride quality is not a concern.
At least, I presume he means that because he says "Don't need air"
Tires with a self sealing foam system still need air. Tires get low because the bead and valve aren't prefect, not because there are holes.
According to the literature, at 20% under-inflated, you lose 15% mpg. That would be significant for you.
OTH, your vehicles probably get checked far more often than a typical vehicle and don't run that far under pressure for very long. After all, most people aren't forced to stop their private cars to check weight limits and undergo random inspections from safety officers and undergo audits of their maintenance records.
So for you, probably the savings would come from labor: not having to check the pressure on/inflate the tires of an 18 wheeler so the truck has more time on the road, and also less wear and replacement of failed tires from under-inflation.
It is not reporting science, it is reporting a columnists suggestion on making climate deniers pay for their "stupidity" by being the first to starve when climate change ruins the crops.
Here is the original article, if you really want to read it from a "scientist":
Not that Steve Zwick is a scientist, he is just passing judgement on them.
So no, no science involved here at the Daily Mail, just reporting the suggested attacks on scientists by a non-scientist, who want terrible things to happen to them because they don't agree with what Zwick thinks they should say.
Kinda like the prosecutors in Russia, who I am sure are not scientists either.
I mean, for public release, saying "water" makes more sense.
And anyway, water consumption for human use would be minimal, if it all. That water, unless it is deep underground, has been bombarded by cosmic rays for eons, it may be too radioactive in the form of Tritium to be safe.
Most likely, it will be used as fuel/reaction mass or as shielding from Cosmic Rays..
What confuses you is that the pundits (not newscasters) on Fox don't all hold the same viewpoint.
Maddow and Mathews don't allow opposing views on their shows very often, so it can be very jarring to see more than one viewpoint expressed at the same time.
You are not really following the argument are you?
The accusation was that they were either as legitimate as governments, or the governments were terrorists/raving lunatics like PETA, depending on which way you want to read the comparison.
The comparison is false, PETA is acting on its own authority, not the authority given it by the people of a government.
Genesis was WWI, not WWII, that was their ascendency over battleships, who had ascendency in WWI.
Yamamoto, talking about the Yamoto battleship class, envisions the eventual fall of capital ships:
"The fiercest serpent may be overcome by a swarm of ants."
Personally, I see the biggest problem is that they are vastly oversized against any credible threat. We would be better served by drone carriers or missile frigates in most cases. Better to deal with asymmetrical threats.
In the first six to twelve months of a war with the United States and Great Britain I will run wild and win victory upon victory. But then, if the war continues after that, I have no expectation of success.
A military man can scarcely pride himself on having "smitten a sleeping enemy"; it is more a matter of shame, simply, for the one smitten. I would rather you made your appraisal after seeing what the enemy does, since it is certain that, angered and outraged, he will soon launch a determined counterattack.
FWIW, Frank Herbert seem to be ok with the results:
I get asked a specific question a lot of times, if the settings, the scenes that I saw in David’s film match my original imagination, the things I projected in my imagination. I must tell you that some of them do, precisely. Some of them don’t, and some of them are better. Which is what you would expect of artists such as David and Tony Masters. I’m delighted with that! Why not take it and improve on it visually? As far as I’m concerned the film is a visual feast.

You don't even have to try to dim them, even the highest setting is not really 100% voltage, so you kill the light.

Looking at the companies that sell the foam, a 16 inch tire would be around 15lbs, that is a significant weight.
We did solid tires in the past, before Mr. Dunlop developed the pneumatic tire and changed everything.
Do we have better materials now? Probably, but as you say, the heat generation would probably kill your tire first.
My spelling is perfect, if I wanted the word prefect.
Butt hay, knowbody is prefect.
Oh hell, it is worse than that.

I am still trying to figure out what is not full featured about Ubuntu...
Nor do I see it any different from Bing integration.
Sure there is: don't buy their products.
But we do... bread and circus, American Style.

There has been plenty of talk about jailing (or worse executing/starving) AGM deniers, so why is this a surprise?

I think it is more likely it proves that people would rather lie than be proven wrong.

Which is worse? Non sequitur.
Yes, because at least we gave the politicians the power to do so on our behalf. Vote them out if you don't like the wars
No one collectively gave PETA the right to be violent, and you can't vote them out.
Hell, he would have a tough time in Deerborn, MI.

All the news by 20 agencies, not every agency everywhere.
That is the goal, but I could see how some agencies in other countries might not be willing or able to provide the material.
The BBC America seems to be part of the import.
